Chapter 102: A Chinese Ghost Story
"This kind of barren mountains and mountains, how can there be anything related to swordsman......"
Su Yan walked through the dense forest with difficulty, even if he had the Netherworld Eye to see in the dark, he still couldn't see far because he was blocked by the dense forest.
Behind him was a stumbling skeleton that followed him step by step, looking even more lonely in the darkness, although there were two figures.
The skeleton didn't last long, and when the control time was over, it turned into a pile of dry bones, but Su Yan finally found a human path in the jungle.
What excites him even more is the faint sound of fighting in the distance.
Su Yan hurriedly rushed to the fighting place, and for the sake of safety, he still grabbed a stealth pill in his hand, but there were only three of these life-saving things left.
He soon saw the source of the voice, a scholar in a long robe, carrying a book, holding a lantern in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, holding two wolves.
And under his insight technique, the scholar had a level 30 strength, and with this scholar in front to attract the two evil wolves, Su Yan immediately rushed up to attack the evil wolf from behind.
With the powerful attacks provided by that bronze pipe and snake eye ring, it didn't take much time to take out the two wolves.
"In Xia Ning Caichen, thank you brother Tai for your help." The scholar straightened his sleeves a little, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Su Yan, but his eyes fell on the pipe in Su Yan's hand a little strangely.
"Ning Caichen......" Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, this name was too familiar.
Looking at his costume as an ancient scholar. Su Yan couldn't help but change his face even more, could it be that he didn't enter the mission space, but traveled to ancient times?
Su Yan hurriedly reached out and held his game necklace, and after looking at the information about the characters that appeared in front of him, his frightened mood calmed down a little, he was still in the death game, and the guy named Ning Caichen in front of him should just be a coincidence in the name of a person.
"In Xia Su Yan, may I ask Brother Ning, do you know someone named Nie Xiaoqian......" Su Yan asked a little worriedly.
"I don't know." Ning Caichen shook his head and said.
"What about Yan Chixia?"
"I don't know, Xiaosheng is not a local, he just passed through here. I heard that there was an uninhabited temple in front of me. That's why I want to spend the night. ”
Temple? Ning Caichen is going to the temple to spend the night?!
Su Yan's newly relaxed heart immediately began to sink, and he immediately followed behind Ning Caichen with a cloudy face all the way.
Soon he saw a temple completely obscured by towering trees and vines, with only some eaves and the spires of the stupa peeking out among the leaves.
When the two of them came to the already mottled mountain gate, even though it was covered with moss. However, he could still vaguely recognize the word Lan Ruo.
"What the hell is this......" Su Yan was shocked in his heart. This coincidence is also too coincidental.
Except for the frescoes seen in the corridors outside the underground palace. Su Yan rarely saw anything related to the real world in this game world, but everything he saw in front of him was too similar to the story of the Chinese ghost story.
Su Yan followed Ning Caichen into this Lanruo Temple with anxiety, which had obviously been abandoned for a long time. Even the main hall has collapsed for the most part, and the Buddha statue is only half of its body left.
He suddenly remembered what Zhong Yilan had said before, that mysterious divination girl had asked him to pay attention to those stories related to swordsman!
And in the story of the Chinese Ghost Story, there is indeed someone who has something to do with the swordsman - the Yan Chixia who can fly with a sword!
The divination girl obviously knew something about the advanced quest, and even knew some secrets of the game, so she let herself pay attention to the story related to the swordsman.
Could it be that the advanced quests in this game have something to do with the legends of the real world?
"You're finally here, I thought you'd die halfway through." Just when Su Yan was unsettled, a cold voice came.
Su Yan hurriedly followed the prestige, but it was an extremely beautiful woman in white, like a fairy in a painting, looking at the two of them with a cold face at the moment.
Could this be Nie Xiaoqian? Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, this Nie Xiaoqian is indeed extremely beautiful, but this seems to be a little wrong with the plot of the Chinese ghost story, did this heroine appear too quickly, and listening to her words is too active.
"This young lady, ......" Ning Caichen was obviously also extremely surprised to look at this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared.
"You are Su Yan? The level is really frighteningly low! Unexpectedly, the woman completely ignored Ning Caichen next to her, but looked directly at Su Yan and asked.
Su Yan was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked with a look of consternation on his face, "...... you How do you know my name? ”
"Of course I know, Xueqing's girl showed me your photos twice in the past three days, and this time she kept urging me to save you, lest you be killed by the monsters here."
"Xue Qing? You...... Are you Song Xueyi?! Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and finally guessed the identity of this woman.
"Of course it's me, who do you think it will be?" Song Xueyi said expressionlessly.
"Scared me to death, I thought you were Nie Xiaoqian......" Su Yan said with a long sigh of relief.
"Nie Xiaoqian has been killed by me." Song Xueyi's faint words startled Su Yan.
Half-loud, Su Yan was still full of disbelief, "Nie Xiaoqian was really killed by you?" ”
"Yes, the dress I'm wearing now burst out of her, and the defensive attribute is pretty good."
“……”
"You...... You guys killed?! Ning Caichen next to him suddenly screamed.
However, what greeted him was Song Xueyi's rapid attack on the pink fist.
"Don't, he's Ning Caichen'......" Su Yan's words were not finished, and he saw Ning Caichen's figure flying upside down like a kite.
This Song Xueyi really deserves to be a highly talented powerhouse in this game, but the seemingly ordinary punch power is amazingly large.
Seeing that Ning Caichen fell to the ground without knowing his life and death, the corners of Su Yan's mouth couldn't help twitching, this cold and glamorous woman like ice and snow is really a sister to that stupid and cute Song Xueqing?
"This ...... This is not good, without Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, then how can we complete the task? ”
The answer to him was still a cold voice: "The task I took has nothing to do with them. ”
Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned again and asked, "Then what is the task you received?" Are you going to find Yan Chixia? ”
"No, there is no Yan Chixia here!"
"How is that possible, doesn't it mean that this advanced quest will be related to the profession?" Su Yan couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that he guessed wrong again?
"The task I received is to cultivate a swordsman in this Lanruo Temple, so to speak...... I'm Yan Chixia here! ”
Su Yan couldn't help but be speechless for a while, it was really related to the swordsman, but letting a woman become Yan Chixia was really a bad task!
"Then how are you cultivating now, have you reached the swordsman?"
"I haven't made much progress in my cultivation, and the Qiankun Sword Technique I need is now in the Dryad Grandma, and I have to kill him to get it."
Su Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then our mission goal is to kill that tree demon grandma?" ”
"It used to be, but now it probably has changed." Song Xueyi's voice was still cold.
"Mission objectives will change?" Su Yan asked in surprise.
"Well, the more people who enter this mission space, the more difficult the mission goal will become, and the current mission goal is estimated to be the old demon of Montenegro."
"No, will it have such a big impact when I come in at this level?" Su Yan said with some surprise.
"Not only did you come in, but also the president of the Dark Dynasty, Du Pengfei, who was known as the king of thieves, also came in, but the position after entering was different from yours."
"The king of thieves, Du Pengfei...... Could it be that guy who wants to grab the teleportation orb? Su Yan's face was already a little dark.
"Yes, he is already a level 62 player, and he has already completed the second level to become a shadow dancer, and his entry has at least doubled the amount of this mission!" Song Xueyi's two willow eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
Su Yan finally understood why she had been as cold as ice, and anyone who encountered such trouble probably would never be happy again.
It seems that the divination girl is right, this task is really nine deaths!
"By the way, how can your advanced quest be so similar to the story of A Chinese Ghost Story? Is it true that everyone receives an advanced quest related to these legendary myths and ghost stories? Su Yan asked with some curiosity, he believed that Song Xueyi must know more information about the Dao than himself.
"That's not necessarily, everyone's advanced tasks are different, and some people encounter historical events in the world of this game itself, but ......" Song Xueyi said with some hesitation.
"But what?"
Song Xueyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Based on my recent in-depth understanding of this mission space, as well as the detailed statistics and research of the Fifth Legion on many advanced missions, I suspect that the story of A Chinese Ghost Story is not just a ghost story in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", but something that really happened. ”
"What ever really happened...... How is that possible? Su Yan was stunned again.
"Nothing is impossible, this story is likely to take place in this game world, or it shouldn't be called a story, but a history!"
"Then why does it appear in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" in the real world?" Su Yan wondered.
"Maybe a player entered this game world hundreds of years ago, and as a result, he saw the whole incident of the Chinese ghost story, or he encountered this advanced quest like me, and then wrote down this experience after returning to the real world, but unfortunately it has been regarded as a ghost story by later generations......"
Su Yan couldn't help but be speechless for a while, could it be that the story of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" actually happened in this game world.
Or is that "Strange Tales" itself a book that records a bunch of strategies about game tasks?! (To be continued......)
